Benthic Realm - “I Will Not Bow” 2018
Enter the Doomed Abyss of BENTHIC REALM!
~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~
The doom metal scene is fond of its cosmonauts venturing into the farther reaches of outer space and it's psychonauts tripping the still uncharted realm of inner space, but outside of a few well-known examples (Ahab) we've still not spent enough time in the great below.
Two years ago, the New England trio BENTHIC REALM was formed for deep sea exploration. With former members of Second Grave members Krista Van Guilder (WarHorse, Lucubro) on vocals/guitar and Maureen Murphy on bass, along with Dan Blomquist from the crushing band Conclave on drums, you know this is going to be one hell of a ride. The band's first EP, 'Benthic Realm' (2017) gave us a taste of their potential, with three powerful tracks that showed a penchant for effective, memorable riffcraft. Now, Benthic Realm are returning for a second chapter: 'We Will Not Bow' (2018).
We Will Not Bow features four songs, "Save Us All," "Thousand Day Rain," "I Will Not Bow," and "Untethered." "A lot of the lyrics," the band says, "are slightly political in nature, a bit about our society and the world we live in –- the negatives, but sometimes about fictitious stories." Krista's singing is commanding throughout, her guitar play riveting. Maureen and Dan's rhythm section is tight and always on point. The mood throughout is dark, brooding, melancholy -- just my cup of tea!
The EP was recorded at Mad Oak Studios in Boston with Benny Grotto, where so many great doom-stoner projects have emerged over the years. We Will Not Bow releases October 31st in compact disc and digital formats and can be preordered here.
Today, Doomed & Stoned is pleased to be premiering the gargantuan opening salvo, "Save Us All." This up-tempo number opens urgently, as if on a mission to deliver a message of the utmost importance. "Save Us All," Krista notes, "shines a light on how destructive we are as humans and how we are destined to ruin everything including ourselves." Her vocals are commanding and can soar beautifully with the best of her class, while just as quickly unleashing with hellish intensity.
What's really feeding at the beneath the waters? Only Benthic Realm can say. They bid you to now join them for the journey. Give ear...
